Seeney v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Seeney’s convictions, holding that the prosecutor’s comments about Seeney’s failure to deny placing his hand on the victim’s neck were permissible inferences from the evidence rather than burden shifting. It also held that the trial court properly denied a mistrial because the victim’s brief references to threats against her son were promptly cured by a sufficient instruction. The Court rejected Seeney’s cumulative-error claim because he was not prejudiced by any individual error.
